Noircana: A Secret to the Stone

The City of Belgaerd. It’s known by many names: the Silver Sunset, the Sapphire City, and the Concrete Kingdom to name a few. One of the free city-states, Belgaerd is a stewpot of different races and cultures, and a bastion of research into magical theory and cutting edge artificing. Industry tycoons make their fortunes in its towering buildings and movie stars throw parties in elegant rooftop gardens. It is the jewel of the west, a shining example of civilization for all the world.

But it wasn’t so long ago that Belgaerd was an untamed wilderness, a small, struggling township kept alive by bold adventurers, a tenacious city guard, inspired mages, and the dedication of the faithful. The rise of technology and ubiquitous magic makes those days of danger seem far away, but despite forced integration of the civilized races’ long-time enemies–trolls, orcs, goblins, and others–the streets are just as dangerous as the dungeons they replaced ever were.

Be careful the streets you choose to walk and the monsters you choose to trust. And always keep a trusty wand at your side.
